well its not really a helicopter as we know it... so advice could be a bit thin
on the ground.
You need to look at the components that make it fly, it is going to be either
the motor (you need to clean the brushes or buy a new one) or the controller
(which may need cleaning and realigning to make a good contact on the resistor)

a contact may have come loose or there could be something not right with the
blades...

Okay thanks Mike, I know its not a real one yet ..... but its a start and it
was only £30 , so far for one day , it does look like its not charging as it
will not even lift off the charging base now...
